Northanger Abbey

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” Catherine Morland leaves her rural home to enter the sophisticated world of Bath in the late 1790s, where she observes the ebbs and flows of society in the city. Jane Austen’s classic novel was her her first completed novel, though it was heavily revised by her several times before finally being published posthumously.
